He decided to contact 1st Commercial Lending when he heard about our financing options.

    The owner already had one thriving agency, which he owned for almost 20 years. The Agency was in his family for over 50 years and this was an important step to keep the growth process continuing. He only had a line-of-credit on his current agency and it made sense to include it in the loan.

    1st Commercial lending was able to structure a 100% Financing loan with no pre-payment penalty at an attractive interest rate. The interest rate was locked in for the first 5 years and then will reset one time only for the remaining 5 years.

What Our Clients Have To Say

  • 1st Commercial Lending helped me in finding the best terms that I was able to get from any lender, and then saw the process through all the way to closing the deal, capably answering all of my questions and concerns along the way.

    Of all of the lenders that I came across in this search, I found David to be the most knowledgeable and resourceful; he had thorough knowledge of his industry.

    If you have a need for financing the purchase of an agency I would highly recommend that you put 1st Commercial Lending on the "short list" of lenders that you need to give strong consideration to working with.
